Rubies on Five Points

Rubies on Five Points is a live-music dive bar in downtown Durham's Five Points district with an explicit, posted anti-homophobia and anti-transphobia policy. While not a dedicated gay bar, it is a reliably queer-friendly room that hosts inclusive dance nights and shows, and it appears regularly in local guides to Durham's LGBTQ+ nightlife. Expect a casual, unpretentious crowd, affordable drinks and a rotating calendar of bands and DJ nights.
